I don't think the exploit itself is trojaned, as others on this thread 
have indicated.  Rather, the exploit has been infected with some
virus that opens a backdoor, like RST and RST.b.

Whoops, I didn't catch that when I read the note the first time.
I don't normally (now) send virus code through to the list.
At least no one needs to ask for samples. :)

Obviously, please take great care with the infected file.  If it's
like RST, it will open a backdoor, and call home to tell someone
about it.  You will be r00ted.
